      Children of Time was the book that got me into Adrian Tchaikovsky and I still rate it as one of the best sci-fi books of this century. I never stop recommending it to people.

        Same, it is utterly superb. I think I’ve gifted six copies of it so far, and given dozens of recommendations too!

    I watched this video a few weeks ago and I LOVED it. It's exactly the kind of content I look for on YouTube and in a format that I love which mixes real experiences, scientist/expert interviews, visual references, and isn't monotonous.

    And it's why I love learning about these things. It is such a gift to be able to now look at a jumping spider and understand a bit better about how it sees the world around it.

    I can't wait to watch this. I've been obsessed with jumping spiders for a long time. I have a long list of anecdotes about smart and social interactions with jumpers.

    I really enjoyed this. I've got a couple of varieties of jumping spiders around here and I love when I catch a glimpse of them. They're always so cute and curious.

    Thank you for this. It’s the kind of video that is awesome to not only watch by myself, but to also watch with my grandchild. They were enthralled through the entire thing!
